Palworld offers a lot of Pals that are quite cute-looking, but are equally as deadly. Penking is one such example – a penguin-like Pal of massive size with an aggressive nature.
While you can consider it as a battle companion, the best way to utilize it is to have it produce resources for your base with the help of its level 2 Handiwork, Transporting, Watering, Mining, and Cooling.
You can get your hands on this Pal quite early in the game. It appears mainly as a level 15 Alpha boss called the King Penguin in the Windswept Hills, but can also be found as a normal spawn in the wild.
In this guide, we will go over Penking’s spawn locations, its breeding combos, and the stats it offers in Palworld.
Where to find Penking in Palworld?
You can find and get Penking in many ways. The first is to encounter it as an Alpha boss inside a dungeon. The second is to find a normal one in its spawn site, and the third is to hatch it from an egg.
Dungeon boss location
Penking is one of the low-level bosses you can fight in the earlier stages of the game. This boss is located in a dungeon called the Sealed Realm of the Frozen Wings. This location is in the Windswept Hills at the coordinates 114, and -352.
The closest fast travel point to this dungeon is just next to it – the Sealed Realm. The other closest FT point from here would be Fort Ruins, which is just southeast of it. Once you reach this location, you can simply step inside the yellow circle and enter the dungeon, starting the boss fight.
Natural spawn site location
Other than the boss, you can also find a normal Penking as a spawn. They are found on a small island at the southern end of the map – the No.1 Wildlife Sanctuary.
A rather simple yet tricky method to obtain Penking is to hatch it from an egg. They can only be hatched from Large Damp Eggs though, which are randomly found throughout the world. There is no guarantee that you will always find a Penking this way though, as the chances of getting one are random.
How to breed Penking in Palworld
Perhaps the best and easiest way to get Penking is by breeding it in Palworld. All you have to do is select a suitable pal couple and breed them at your Breeding Farm. When the parent pair produces an egg, you can place it in an incubator and wait for it to hatch.
Below are the best pal combinations that yield a child Penking:
- Mozzarina + Cryolinx
- Mossanda + Vanwyrm Cryst
- Melpaca + Astegon
- Nitewing + Vanwyrm Cryst
- Cinnamoth + Elphidran
- Incineram + Sibelyx

Penking weaknesses and stats
While normal Penking doesn’t put up much of a fight in Palworld, its alpha boss version will surely resist your attempts to capture it with all its might.
Before starting the fight against the Penking boss, you first have to learn about its weaknesses. This is a level 15 Water and Ice type-boss, which means that using good Fire type and Electric type Pals would be particularly effective against it.
As you start the fight, you will notice that the King Penguin has multiple little minions fighting alongside it. These are Pengullets, a lesser form of Penking. Though these may be tiny, do not overlook them because if they swarm up on you, they can tear down your health very fast.
This is why your priority in this boss fight is to eliminate all the Pengullets first. Once they are out of the way, you can turn your attention to the Penking and attack it with everything you’ve got.
Once its health is depleted to a maximum, you will have two choices – either to capture Penking or to kill it. Killing the pal will earn you drops such as Ice Organ, Precious Pelt, Legendary Feathered Hairband (Schematic), and Ancient Civilization Parts.
If you are successful in catching Penking, it will yield the following in-game stats in its base level.
| HP | 95 |
| Defense | 95 |
| Crafting Speed | 100 |
| Melee Attack | 70 |
| Shot Attack | 95 |
| Stamina | 100 |
| Support | 100 |
| Running Speed | 450 |
| Sprinting Speed | 600 |
| Slow Walk Speed | 50 |
